We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

If I'm not wrong, for a 2D axisymmetric thermal analysis, the software works with the X-axis as axis of rotatio,

I am not sure where you are seeing X being axis of rotation for 2D axisymmetric analysis. In Mechanical, for 2D axisymmetry X is radial and Y is axial or axis of rotation. This is true whether it is thermal (e.g.plane55), structural or coupled thermal-structural (e.g. plane223 shown below).
